“…Two early studies, published in Cancer Research, used this platform to characterise the changes in the sequence of cellular events leading to adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus [63–66], whereas the other characterised signalling in colorectal cancer [67, 68], but this platform was also used for charting differences in the substrate specificity of related kinases, for example, to characterise the differences between c-Raf and Cot [69] or the phosphorylation target site of DMPK E and lats2 [70] and thus was the first academically truly successful peptide-array-based kinome profiling tool, used in a variety of species (e.g., Guinea pigs [71]). An important recently published study used this platform to characterise the changes in cellular kinome associated with differentiation during haematopoiesis [72], showing that even under unstimulated conditions important differences between cell stages exist, challenging the notion that cellular signalling is mainly reactive.…”
